How to sign players on pre-contracts.
In a brand new feature to Career Mode, players can now arrange to join clubs on a pre-contract deal. What does this mean and how do you do it? Let us explain it for you.

A pre-contract is the way in which you offer a contract to a player at another club entering the final months of his contract. Once a player has 6 months or less remaining on his contract, you are free to approach the player and offer him a deal, which allows him to join your club for free once his contract expires in the summer. So, that’s what a pre-contract is, but how do I use it to my advantage in Career Mode? Here’s how.

First things first, only players above the age of 23 can be signed this way, but don’t let this put you off as there’s a bunch of good players you can still sign. Once you’ve reached the December – January period, set up instructions for your Global Transfer Network scouts using the following criteria: Any position, aged between 23 and any age (we would recommend no older than 31-32 as players stats decline at this age), and 0-1 years remaining on their contracts. Now send your scouts to the top leagues around Europe and South America and wait to see who they find. Once the scout returns with a list of players, select the player that interests you and you will notice the option of ‘Approach to sign on pre-contract’.
Below is a list of some players who can be aquired this way in the first season of Career Mode.

Of course, there are many more players available to sign this way. These are only examples to wet the appetite. If you come across other players available this way, do let us know in the comments section, and of course, enjoy this amazing new feature to Career Mode.

the best players to sign with Newcastle i think would be, if your looking for a midfielder who can pass the ball well and is not expensive go for Darren Fletcher for ManUtd he will only cost around 2.5m -5m

I agree with you. Juan Fernando Quintero is the name. I’ve played with many clubs and I always sign him at my new club. He’s awesome. I took Portsmouth from league 2 and now in Championship. instead of Quintero, I’m using Ryan Gauld from the spl. he ain’t bad.

In my first season at Newcastle, I bought Radja Nainggolan!! might have to bust your transfer budget with that signing tho. A great partnership alongside Cabaye, and a great investment for the future!! Now 4 seasons in, got some youths running well and bought players like Abdennour, Shaw, Santiago Arias and Schrivjers! oh and I bought back Remy from QPR in the second season, cos he is simply good. Got 30 odd goals in the same season and sold him for around 25mil pounds. with that I bought an even better striker, sturridge. Boss’d my 3rd season with 38 goals in all competitions! – all on professional though. I’m being honest

what team should i start with on career mode (manager), i don’t want big teams like Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal, ManUtd, ManCity, Liverpool or Everton, i want mid tableish teams, but not teams battleing for relergation, maybe Stoke or Norwich give me mor options and what players to sign that fit into the team well

Start with PSV. Now, I’ll tell you a dream team for the future, that you can buy, but PSV has already got Locadia,Maher,Bakkali, and that left back whom I never remember the name. But a dream team for the future, that I bought in 2 seasons if I remember welll…
Gk: Bonilla/Butland(though Zoet goes up to 81)
Rb: Adam Matthews
Cb: Kaya(Rekik goes to 84 so there’s really no need)
cb:Marquinhos
Lb:Shaw
Cdm: Junior Malanda
Cdm: Leon Goretzka
Rw/Rm: Bakkali
Lw/Lw: Bruma
CAM: Adryan(though you got Maher)
St:Antony Martial

Can someone plz help!!!
How can I get my offline career player attributes up? Im struggling to get my pro past 79 ovr points. he is getting old and I can breakthrough the bigger clubs.its annoying. I would ideally want my pro to reach atleast 88 ovr points. is that even possible???

Finishing accomplishments increases ur overall for ur pro char….mine in currently 88 overall. Also sign on to EA sports and earn levels…there are bonus points ur pro can earn at different levels. They are back at the beginning menu on the third page over….

I took over crystal palace and I am struggling to score and keep clean sheets so when january came round I got kaboul agger and drogba for next season all on pre contract will theese three be enough just to get atleast 15th or higher next season?

Im playing pro mode like most here and I am having issues with getting the CPU to give me passes in the air….how am I suppose to get my headers and volleys done if all they want to do is pass me the ball on the ground? Is there a way to get them to pass the ball in the air, other than hoping enough defenders between u that they have to pass it in the air.

Definitely wait a season to start doing some damage. QPR has remy , taarabat, park, and holiett on loan for your fist season, so it’ll be difficult to do a whole lot of damage right off the bat. Definitely scout some younger players to bring over, especially defenders. Plus Charlie Austin is a great player and develops quickly!

i bought benzia, bruma and bakkali immediately, they grew to 79 and 78 respectively after their first season (for some reason Benzia only grew to a 69). then i sold hoilett and picked up ola john , salah and memphis depay. then the next season i sold taarbat, careno, and a few other people, picked up Jetro Willems, Musa, Junior Malanda, Iiori, ter Stegan. My front line is set for the next decade, QPR in my second season is in the Euro League and I think is about two star players away from winning the premier league. I really need a CB, CAM and RB now though…then I’ll be unstoppable.

I found players with 4 months left on contract n cant approach them like u say i only get the optio. Of (enquire about…..) n by the way atl mineiro has good players with contracts expiring on the second season start on the 70s but have 80s potential

What happens if I miss a player after the January transfer and the contract says he has only 3 months left. How can I sign him?
Can I sign him after in the new season for free?
Does he become a free agent? Or would his parent club offer him another contract?

I have applied for a job offer and they have accepted. I am unsure whether to accept the offer because I am coming towards the end of the season with my current club and I don’t want to go to the club I want to go to until I finish my season at my current club. If I accept the offer, will it let me finish my current season?
Could you reply ASAP. Thanks

Mathis Bolly is a really good and cheap player, hes got 97 pace and acceleration the rest of his stats are mediocre but hes the fastest player in FIFA so get him if you need pace on the wings, he costs like a million in career mode and plays for Fortuna Dusseldorf in bundesliga 2

I am in my 3rd or 4th season with qpr and have developed a quality side, we have won bpl and are now in champions league. I need a new striker in january and its september atm, i have benteke to swap for any striker i just dont know who to get, i was thinking of trading koke for shaqiri or james rodriguiez. Can someone help what striker i should get somebody young and quite speedy with a good eye for goal though

I always go for Lukaku. Great speed, good header and deadly in the box. I think he goes to about 88. Benzia is another good young striker, or there is A. Martial, cracking prospect, bad stamnia though.

I’m new to career mode. When you are doing a player career what does the transfer deadline thing do? The thing that has 10 hours and shows players in and out from the teams in your league . Also is it possible to have a player career and a manager career going at the same time and if yes how.

Can someone explain this to me please?
I made a pre-contract deal with this brazilian striker called Henrique, from Botafogo (I manage Bayer Leverkusen). When the new season started and the transfer window opened I got a message saying he had arrived and was available for selection but I checked and he isn’t available to me…
Over 4 weeks (in the game) later and he still isn’t available to me. Does anyone know why this is?

If you buy a pre-contract player , You only give his wage (not transfer money)[you know it]
He is not joined your team in this season , next season he will come to your team

who know top players Rating on 2020 ?

I got Portsmouth to the championship and have won 3 domestic cups and I am also in charge of the Northern Ireland National football team. I find it quite annoying that you can’t move your substitutes to the reserves as I am ending up with a lot of suspended matches and dropping points. Anyone know how to do so?

I’ve been playing as Portsmouth because I wanted to get them back to the prem. I’m in the 3rd season and Ive just been promoted to the championship last season. The bored have give me £475,000 and they want me to finish high. I don’t have enough money for all the 68+ rated players and also I can’t sell players because of me having a bare 11 and subs. What should I do?!?!

Guys , I am managing RealMadrid & Ronaldo left just as i was begining the season ! I rejected his appeal to leave but the board sold him for € 55,000,000 ! Why does this happen ? Bought Suarez & Lewandowski though !!!
